It is not illegal to cut yucca plants on your own property or with permission. However, cutting yucca plants on public land or protected areas may be subject to strict regulations and could potentially be illegal. It is always best to check with local authorities or land managers before cutting any plants.

How do you plant the seeds of a yucca plant and have success with growing them?

I am NOT an expert on yucca, but we have a Spanish style home [for years] and have lots of yucca plants. They bloom every year, but none of the seeds have germinated. The way we propagate yucca is to cut off the top couple of feet or so of a plant, strip the leaves from the bottom foot of the cutting, allow the wounds to heal for a few days or a week, and then plant the cutting. The plant from which the cutting was taken will develop a new growth stem, and sometimes multiples, which makes for a more interesting plant. The planted cutting will easily and quickly root and grow normally. So, if you have a friend or neighbor who will allow you to take a cutting, both of you will have pleasing plants. IF you want to take your cuttings from the wild, be sure to check regarding the legality of doing so. Many places where yucca grows wild have laws to protect the plants. As for the propagation by seed, I think I read somewhere, that the probability of successful pollination is very touchy, and therefore the gathering of viable seeds is very questionable. Until a true expert on yucca improves or replaces this partial answer, it'll just have to do.

What animal is a symbiotic relationship to a yucca?

It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
